Ester and King Ahasuerus

There is a plot by Haman to kill the the Jewish citzens in King Ahasuerus Kingdom.  Ester is Jewish and the King's Queen, the King does not know Ester's faith.  Ester summons all her courage while fearful for her life and tells King Ahasuerus her beliefs and asked him to spear her and her people.  The King agrees and Haman is destroyed.

 

This painting is the moment Ester tells the King at a dinner banquet.  The King is compassionate and Ester is ashamed she hadn't told him earlier.  In the left hand corner you can see Haman's foot as he tries to run away.  The left hand side represents sin and the right show the beauty of truth and belief.
